- conistonwater 10y agoBut why? Isn't it big news that string theory has finally been proven?
- duaneb 10y agoNothing about string theory is provable. If you throw a stone in a physics class you'll hit a new theory working with higher dimensions. A really simplified explanation might be "there's a qualitative attribute that means something special about how forces work with it".
- conistonwater 10y agoSure, I know.
- aisofteng 10y agoWhat led you to believe that "string theory has finally been proven"? What is the hypothesis that has been tested and demonstrated?
- spacehome 10y agoWow, it's already being misreported in HN comments.
